Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v4 1/8] cve-exclusions: set status for CVE-2019-14899
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:21:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824042123.1456876-2-junjie.cao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824042123.1456876-1-junjie.cao@linux.dev>
A network-adjacent attacker can send packets addressed to a host's VPN
tunnel address over the physical interface. Because Linux uses the weak
host model by default, the host replies, which lets the attacker infer
the tunnel address, confirm active connections and eventually inject
into the tunneled TCP stream.
No upstream kernel fix exists. Ubuntu has the fix deferred since
2019-12-13, Debian does not track it against the kernel, and Red Hat
scopes it to openvpn:
https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-14899
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-14899
Record it unpatched so it stays visible rather than excluded.
